I used this to add a temperature control function to an add-on cooling fan. It was simple to install, worked as advertised, and was a good value.

From Wilmington, NC

I bought a second after the first one crapped out, first just died and would not send power to the fans no fire this time, did replace relay and check all fuses. Second one easy install just re-wired to connections, blew a fuse, replaced worked again, next day caught fire on the way home had to stop and cut the power wires with a knife to prevent the vehicle from burning, two days after install. Please do not purchase, the product should be pulled from all stores.

Works alright with a single fan setup but I wouldn't trust it. Definitely doesn't work alright with a dual fan setup. The main power wire for the unit is to small of a gauge to control two fans. The unit heats up after period time of use causing the fans to slow way down and overheating the vehicle. Advise if using for a dual fan setup to use this unit as a control for another set of relays that's connecting your fans to your main power. Works wonders like that but a little more into the wiring

Installed the Fan control and it didn't work. Couldn't return it because I had already cut the wires to fit. Paid up for a better one and wasted my money.

From freench lick, indiana

the art would have worked great for my application but someone purchased it and butchered up the wiring , I didn't notice it until I went to open it, there was box tape on the back and when I opened it up I seen a big glob of tape near the connector. went and returned it, they didn't have another in stock so that was that. I had this item before (not this one), but it worked great for my application.

The temp sensor for this thing would not work for my car. Make sure the sensor will be able to screw into your intake or some available water jacket spot.
